Sidecar Reviews & Product Details

They were great at sales and said all the right things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While they mention your contract is only 3 months, they will force renew you for 9 months after that. After 5 months we realized that our conversions had drastically decreased year over year. They are refusing to let us out of our contract. Our conversions have decreased 700% over last year using sidecar. Steer clear of companies who require long term contracts that don't delivery and just collect a paycheck. Also, they allowed ads to continue running past a sales expiration, generating a significant increase in ad spend with zero conversions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The machine does what we tell it to do and learns quickly all the time for better results. When the machine needs more input or tinkering, that's where Sidecars humans come in and they do respond when you connect with them and let them know your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is not a criticism as much as it is a tip for new customers. Like with any service that relies heavily on automated machine learning, it's tempting to just sit back and let it run without regularly analyzing and tinkering as needed. So be sure to take advantage of Sidecar's team to help them help you make it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sidecar is a great company that does an outstanding job with online advertising. Their technology takes the human piece out of the management of the ads, and makes it much easier and more effective to operate ads for thousands of product SKUs. It also eliminates the human error component of online ads - no guessing, no micromanaging, no hoping - it's data driven and highly efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sidecar isn't for every business. It doesn't translate across all types, sizes, etc. When it's a good fit, it's incredible. A "kinda" fit doesn't work though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used Sidecar for several years. They have made significant progress with stepping up with our changing needs. They are vested in learning about our business and product line to help with the marketing efforts they are managing for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if, at some interval (like quarterly) - a review call could include a data analyst that works on our account regularly in addition to our account manager Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The attention Sidecar shows to my account on a macro and micro level allows me to focus on my business. I can trust Sidecar to take care of my Amazon advertising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeping my advertising expenses and account manager fees in proportion to my sales is always a challenge as a business owner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Communication is very good. Reporting is detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial onboarding between sales agreement and ad execution seems to have had a disconnect. I thought I was clear on the countries we were running ads in; but after 6 months when I became more involved (because my mtkg mgr moved to a new role), I discovered our paid ads were being limited to basically the U.S.... so have been working with Sidecar to get those expanded to other key areas including the UK, Australia, Canada and several other key European countries... some of which we had to pay more for because they were considered beyond our original agreement.

They have made our Google spend way more efficient. They have provided insight to areas of the market that needed more attention. Sidecar has helped navigate a fluctuating economy with targeted marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not much...Sidecar is doing what we booked them to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We enjoy the weekly meetings and the high-level overview of the account performance. We can figure out what's going on in the account in half an hour, and if we want to dig into anything more, we're able to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We do not dislike anything. We have had great success using Sidecar, and our rep is super helpful and thorough. If we any complaint, it would be that the cost could be too high for a business that isn't spending much on google ads today. The cost to pay Sidecar far outweighs the cost of someone in-house doing the same things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sidecars bidding automation allow us to achieve exceptional ROAS without the headache. We used to manage our adwords in-house and it was time consuming and inefficient. Switching to sidecar has allowed us to focus on growing our business through other channels, while allowing Sidecar to handle the things they are best at. Sidecar as taken our google account and made it a point of concern and worry and changed it into a money making machine. I love that I can trust their team to make educated decisions to help drive business. They have always respected our business rules and expectations and are responsive and helpful. I have always appreciated their willingness to recommend ways to improve. The Sidecar dashboard allows me to quickly see how things are going with our business.

The only downside of sidecar is their inability to integrate via API. Having the ability to integrate via API would be great. Aside from that, I can't think of anything that I would improve. Sidecar has been a great partner and addition to our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick to reply to me with any additions and very helpful with getting us off the ground. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our contact at the company has changed three times. Each has been very helpful in their own way, but switching around can be a long learning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
